Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When Mr. R. Retired decides to annuitize his variable annuity contract at the age of 61, his accumulation units will be converted into a fixed number of annuity units. The value of these units will depend on the actual returns earned by the account and the actuarially-determined assumed interest rate; it is not fixed. Mr. Retired will not be subject to a 10% penalty since he is over 59 years old.

I believe the correct answer is D, both B and C. Converting accumulation units and fixing the value of annuity units makes sense for Mr. R.

I'm not sure, but I think the penalty only applies if he annuitizes before 59 and a half, not 62.

But what about option A? Will he really have to pay a penalty?
